SEO gets kicked in face by Fox News
Don’t you just love big American corporate networks and the way they twist and turn and beat information to a pulp!
Fox news has recently published a mini article on “Top Online Marketing Jobs to leave you Friendless.” One of the top jobs fox news flagged as a big red No! No! Is practiced by hundreds of people world wide, it even has communities dedicated to the subject. In fact I think it’s almost like a religion in its own little way. So what am I blabbing on about? Well SEO of course!
Search Engine Optimizer
“Ever wonder why “nonsense” Web sites sometimes turn up in your search results on Google or Yahoo? That’s because search engine optimizing scammers work full-time to create thousands of other Web sites that link to the spam site. For example, the creator of spamlaw.com is hoping to dupe would-be visitors to spamlaws.com, a legitimate site that bills itself as an online security resource“.
In my opinion it’s a really shitty thing to cast all SEO’s in the same light, simply because we are not all in the same box and we take our Jobs Seriously. Another point I would like to make is that Fox Media have their very own in house SEO team which was headed up by Bill Macaitis , who I think has since moved on .
Its one thing to point the finger and say your crap as I know your industry inside out, But when you make accusations and don’t know your Arse from your elbow when it’s comes to online marketing ! It’s an entirely different matter.
By the way, the really shit SEO dupe example is not a website, it’s a holding page/parked page that most hosting companies put up while you are building your site and want to earn some revenue.
feel free to share your thoughts on Fox
